Review on Havit RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard TKL - Pudding Keycaps, Blue Switches - Windows PC/MAC Games by Sean Burnett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Awesome keyboard with pudding keycaps!

I want to start by saying this keyboard is amazing, I highly recommend it. I'm going to break this review into sections so you can read about a specific part or feature of the keyboard. - Keycaps - These pudding keycaps are great. The translucent design really showcases the RGB and gives your keyboard a really cool and vibrant look. The RGB shines through the keycaps nicely. The top of the cap is smooth and the print is just great. The HyperX version of these keycaps are still better because the light gets through better, but they're still really good. Switch. The keyboard feels like any other blue switch keyboard. The tactile feel I get when pressing these switches is still great despite the custard keycaps. In case you didn't know, blue switches are actually the loudest of all switches, so I wouldn't recommend this keyboard to anyone with a roommate or someone who knows they can't have a loud keyboard. This keyboard is pretty slick, overall looks very nice. The different modes are good and can be easily changed by pressing FN + F9. You can also use FN + = or FN + - to change colors for each mode. Also, you can create up to five different profiles and write with FN + ESC combos, which is pretty cool. No software is required here.-Layout-The main feature of this keyboard that drew me in was the layout. I didn't really find myself using the section that most keyless keyboards have retained. I used to use a full-size mechanical keyboard and wanted something smaller, but I also needed a numeric keypad for productivity. When editing videos and designing in Blender, having a number pad is very useful. I can't believe they had a layout like this because it's so useful. The keyboard layout may not matter as much to you as it does to me, but I still think it's an amazing feature. Miscellaneous - I really like how the caps lock key turns white when it's activated as it's very handy. It's easy to tell if it's enabled or not. I also like how they found a way to circumvent the lack of a dedicated Num Lock key. You can press FN + Backspace to enable Num Lock, and then the backspace key will turn white to indicate whether it's on or off. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this keyboard to everyone except those who cannot have a keyboard that is loud enough.
